Honey Glazed Scallops Recipes

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
• Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

SKEWERED HONEY-GLAZED SCALLOPS WITH PEACH SALSA

Steps:

• Mix peaches, red bell pepper, green onions, 2 tablespoons lime juice, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, 1 teaspoon ginger, and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Salsa can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon ginger in medium bowl to blend. Add scallops and stir to coat. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature, turning occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk honey and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice in another small bowl. Thread 4 scallops on each of 4 metal skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill scallops until just opaque in centers, brushing occasionally with honey glaze, about 2 minutes per side.
• Spoon salsa into center of platter. Remove scallops from skewers and arrange atop salsa. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve.

HONEY-MUSTARD GLAZED SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together honey, vinegar, mustard, oil, salt, and pepper with fork.
• Place 1 scallop inside curve of 1 shrimp and secure with long wooden toothpick or short wooden skewer. Repeat with remaining shrimp and scallops.
• Lightly brush grill pan with oil and heat over moderate heat until just beginning to smoke. Working in batches, transfer hors d'oeuvres to pan, cover loosely with foil, and cook 3 minutes. Turn with tongs or spatula, cover again, and cook until shrimp are firm and pink and scallops are just cooked through (do not overcook), 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to platter and brush with honey-mustard mixture. Serve immediately.
